The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 project grant to Princeton University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program to support research towards securing federated learning. Over a four-year period ending September 2026, Princeton researchers will investigate security vulnerabilities in the training phase of federated learning models, develop provably secure federated learning methods to prevent poisoning and backdoor attacks, and create techniques to detect malicious clients and recover machine learning models from such attacks. The grant aims to advance the security of federated learning, an emerging paradigm that enables collaborative machine learning among devices without sharing private data via a centralized server. Outcomes will include technology transfer and incorporation into courses to develop student expertise in designing secure federated learning systems.
